Based on the Doris Betts short story, "The Ugliest Pilgrim," Violet, tells of a young woman who travels across the South, seeking an evangelist whom she believes can cure her disfigured face. Along the way she meets two soldiers who become her traveling companions. Jeanine Tesori (Twelfth Night, First Picture Show) wrote the score with Brian Crawley providing the book and lyrics.
